Black Destroyer

Strong effect 😁

Original Sensible Seeds presents Black Destroyer. I’ll be upfront and say I quite like this strain, but follow along for details. A few issues getting started in seedling stage, and I had a point where I was infested with fungus gnats. There were many learning experiences that coincided with Black Destroyer’s run. The elephant in the room is an absolutely pitiful yield. In my small setup I’m content working with smaller numbers but all three stars missing from the rating are related to yield, I had other strains badly outperform in identical circumstances. This being said, there were points where Destroyer was a bit overcrowded, and the experience has prompted me to add more wattage to the setup. I kept it in flower to the back end of the 7-9 week projection so the buds did mature nicely, but it didn’t make up much yield. Just not much bud, very airy, whispy, but very frosty. External trichome production was really, really nice. So conversely for the reader, this strain would be good with a better environment. Good aesthetics, good smell growing, nice material with no issue trimming. The strain reminded me of White Widow or Black Indica, a sort of pungent dank, must, skunk, not really possessing any sweet or citrus or anything. Sort of classic herb but a really strong first whiff of sour or diesel, probably closer to skunk, that just stays neutral in taste and doesn’t stray. The effects are strong! I didn’t get much bud, but it packs a serious punch. As an indica lover I don’t use hyperbole with effects. This hits both the body and mind, with a definite indica weight. Just overall strong effects - the description did not lie. My love has caused me to blow through the small yield. I have one Black Destroyer seed remaining so I have extra considerations, but I would be ready to grow this again immediately. I really feel maybe a better run with no hiccups, thorough and total illumination, a good “game-script,” and it would be a beast. I desire more of the effects of Black Destroyer.

I got thrips near the end of Harvest and it decimated the leaves of the plant. It kind of ruined a fantastic grow, so this review isn’t going to be as positive as it might have been, but that’s not the fault of the plant. Lesson learned!
